LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD Location : Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California, USA. The General Sherman Tree is the world's largest tree, measured by volume. It stands 275 feet (83 m) tall, and is over 36 feet (11 m) in diameter at the base. Sequoia trunks remain wide high up. Sixty feet above the base, the Sherman Tree is 17.5 feet (5.3 m) in diameter. It is estimated to be around 2,300 to 2,700 years old.

Did you know that the deepest river gorge in North America is our very own Hell's Canyon? It's 7,900 feet deep! For reference, the Grand Canyon is 6,000 feet at its deepest point. #boiseturnkey #boiseturnkeyrealestate #boiserealestateinvesting #realestateinvesting #boiserealtors

Behind the Redwood Curtain, the heart of the Emerald Triangle, the further north you go the more you realize how vast the wilderness is and how freakin' remote you really are. No cell service, no traffic, no urban sprawl, no tall buildings, no real services of any kind, no population density, just trees, rivers and mountains and more trees... Up the 101 corridor, which if you didn't know runs over 1500 miles north and south, the big trees are only north though and you are a good 5 to 6 hours north of the #goldengate bridge before you even get into them. Driving through the big trees... its something everyone should experience at least once in your life, the giant #redwoods are taller than most city buildings with many twenty to over thitry stories tall and a lot more than fifty feet across at the base, now thats a bigass tree! And the further you go, its likely you are on the road by yourself except when passing through and around the small towns. A little glimpse of rolling through the majestics *video: heres a little drive down the 199 in far coastal #northerncalifornia as we're winding our way through the Jed Smith NP area, only a few minutes as you leave the 101 corridor. Up in the north coast country, You never really leave the forest, this is where the mountains and redwoods meet the ocean, in some spots the big trees run right up to the ocean on the edge of the north american continent. #emeraldtriangle behind the #redwoodcurtain Everyone should drive through these magnificent ancients, that have been here for millennia, the more time you spend beneath them the more you become aware, you're... #justaspeckonthemap beneath #mothernature #skyscrapers

This is Little Austinmer beach at sunset, I do have a lot of photos from this spot. In the past I visited this spot at least once a week. These days a bit less frequently. Austinmer was originally called Sidmouth after a home built there in 1837. It was built by Robert Westmacott. He named the property after his home town in England and the area took on the name. Robert Westmacott was a British army soldier, and an amazing artist who sketched and painted some of the best early settlement landscapes of Australia, including many right here in the Illawarra. Robert Westmacott also discovered the route for Bulli Pass which was originally called Westmacott's Pass. By 1860 the area was referred to as North Bulli and in around 1884 the name changed to Austermere which changed again in early 1887 to Austinmere after an article was published in the Mercury using the word Austinmere. When the railway station sign went up in September 1887, it read Austinmer, which is the current spelling and the name stuck, this also happened with the naming of Coledale. It's known exactly how the name Austinmer came about but it is believed to be derived from Henry Austin who was one of the coal mine managers in charge of the North Illawarra Coal Company. Coal was of course, the first industry in Austinmer and in 1886, Austinmer had a coal loading jetty off Hicks Point/Brickyard Point. A ship was wrecked at the jetty in 1887 in high winds, which is one of about 120 ships wrecked off the Illawarra coast. Most were wrecked in the 1800's and the first part of the 1900's. The jetty ceased operation in 1895. It was damaged by storms over the years and was totally destroyed by a fire in 1915. Like much of the Northern Illawarra, black berry picking was popular and by the early 1900's Austinmer had become a tourist destination, popular with Sydney siders and still is today.
